From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=870012 :

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2012-5368 to the following 
vulnerability:

phpMyAdmin 3.5.x before 3.5.3 uses JavaScript code that is obtained through an HTTP session to 
phpmyadmin.net without SSL, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct cross-site 
scripting (XSS) attacks by modifying this code.
